There is more discussion of the subject in past threads, try a search.

So far I really like the leathers

Christopher:  After you get the oars with either leathers or wraps a classy looking stop is the turks head knot. 3/16 or 1/4" would make a good one.
good luck

This link looked like a pretty 'painless' (my way hurts too much) way to wrap oars with rope. You can put any style of stop on after.

Christopher,

this oar rapping method helped me a ton when I was re-doing my oars.
